03/31/2010 - Ozone Park, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Local winner Awesome Act and Fountain of Youth champ Eskendereya top a field of six three-year-olds in Saturday's $750,000 Wood Memorial at Aqueduct. The 1 1/8-mile race is the last prep for these horses heading to the Kentucky Derby.
Awesome Act will be ridden for the second consecutive time by Eclipse Award winning jockey Julien Leparoux. The pair will start from post two for owners Susan Roy and Vinery Stables. The chestnut colt is trained by Jeremy Noseda.
"He's fit and doing well," said assistant trainer Wayne Tanner. "He's feeling the joyous spring."
Awesome Act made himself the local Kentucky Derby favorite with his win in last month's Gotham Stakes. That was his first start since finishing fourth in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf last November.
Awesome Act recorded his first stakes victory with the Gotham and has won two of seven career starts for $221,691.
The Gotham was the first on dirt for Awesome Act. He had started five times on turf and once on an artificial surface. He lost the Juvenile Turf to Pounced by 1 1/4-lengths following a late rally.
Eskendereya will break from post three with John Velazquez again in the saddle. The chestnut colt was the 5-1 favorite last weekend when betting closed in the final Kentucky Derby Future Wager while Awesome act finished at 13-1.
Owned by Zayat Stables, Eskendereya is the top three-year-old in trainer Todd Pletcher's stable. The colt notched his second straight win with the Fountain of Youth and the third in five career starts. The chestnut colt has earnings of $275,700.
"We felt off such a big effort in the Fountain of Youth, six weeks to his next prep made more sense," noted Pletcher. "Followed by four weeks to the Kentucky Derby."
After finishing second in his debut last year, he won the Pilgrim Stakes at Belmont Park in October and was ninth in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile at Santa Anita.
Here is the complete field for the Wood Memorial in post position order: Most Happy Fella, Rosie Napravnik; Awesome Act, Julien Leparoux; Eskendereya, John Velazquez; Schoolyard Dreams, Ramon Dominguez; Jackson Bend, Calvin Borel and Carnivore, Justin Shepherd.
All entrants will carry 123 pounds in the Wood which has a post-time of 5:12 p.m. (et).
The race will televised on NBC.

Oddsmakers have released the odds for the 2009 AP NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award and Seattle Seahawks linebacker Aaron Curry has been made the opening favorite.
Seattle took Curry with the fourth overall pick in April's NFL draft and plan on inserting him into its starting lineup right away. The Hawks traded linebacker Julian Peterson in the offseason, so Curry is expected to have a significant role in Seattle's defense next year and that's one of the primary reasons he is the favorite to win the NFL ROY Award.
Oddsmakers from online sportsbook MySportsbook.com have made Curry a 5/1 favorite to win this year's NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award. Given that he was the best defensive prospect in this year's draft and how he'll have plenty of opportunities to make plays in '09, Curry offers a ton of value at 5/1.
Another thing working for Curry is the position he plays. A linebacker has won the defensive ROY award six straight times and eight of the last nine years. Jerod Mayo, Patrick Willis, DeMeco Ryans, Shawne Merriman, Jonathan Vilma, Terrell Suggs, Kendrell Bell and Brian Urlacher were the most recent linebackers to take home the award.
Following Curry at 5/1 are Tyson Jackson (Chiefs) at 7/1, James Laurinaitas (Rams) at 8/1, Brian Orakpo (Redskins) at 10/1, Rey Maualuga (Bengals) at 10/1 and Jerry Peria (Falcons) at 10/1.
All the players mentioned above are expected to start for their respective teams, but Jackson and Peria are going to have a tough time being recognized on a national level given they're both defensive linemen. D-linemen rarely put up the numbers that it takes to win an individual award like the ROY.
A couple of players with some value are Clay Matthews (Packers) at 12/1 and Larry English (Chargers) at 15/1. Matthews is expected to start at outside linebacker in Green Bay's new 3-4 defense and could rack up a ton of tackles. English, who was an impressive player at Northern Illinois, is expected to be a situational pass rusher for the Chargers and could rack up a ton of sacks.

New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino.
The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1.
MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5.
Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.
